General Survey Information and Definitions

---

NORC at the University of Chicago conducted the Rainin Survey on behalf of the Kenneth Rainin Foundation in Oakland, California. The Kenneth Rainin Foundation wants to fund early care and education programs in low socio economic neighborhoods that will help children succeed. In order to do so, The Foundation needed to find out what programs these neighborhood need and what programs would actually work.

In order to collect this data, NORC conducted 400 interviews across 14 Oakland neighborhoods. The study used an address based sample and households were considered eligible if it had at least one child under the age of six and not yet in kindergarten residing in it. Interviews were 1.5 hours long and respondents received a $50 incentive for participating. The interview consisted of several sections of questions including

• Child demographic
• Household demographics
• Child care arrangement and payments
• Employment
• Neighborhood attitudes
• Household context
• Household history
• Healthcare
• Child development and services received
• Child vocabulary measures

The following analyses are based on the data collected at both the neighborhood and city level.

Common terms utilized in the reports include:

• Household: The surveyed household, comprised of all children and adults who live at the designated address
• Respondent: The parent or guardian of the selected child who completed the interview.
• Child: If a household had more than two children under the age of 6, children were selected in a manner to obtain even representation of households that had children aged 0-3, 4-5, and households that had children in both age ranges. Data provided in the reports represent only the selected children and do not account for other children under the age of six in the household.
